Look at what you do and try to understand WHY. What NEED are you attempting to satisfy with the act, and when you think about it logically, is that need likely to be served by your act? If the need is fulfilled, long-term or short term? At what cost to yourself and others, short and long term?
( Affirmation and power )
( CHEATING )
I don't want to act dignified - I mean I do, but I don't really want to hold my cards close to my chest. I want to tell my damn story, express my feelings, and receive affirmation. I guess it's a balance - there are feelings I don't express, even to my confidants. Some stakes are too high. There are some feelings I don't hide, no matter how embarrassing they are. I make a fool of myself here in writing, often, but I feel so shitty holding stuff in that I think even making a fool of myself here that I'm better off than when I fake maturity.
